SEND IN THE TROOPS! At Least 5 Dead, 10 Wounded So Far in Chicago Weekend Shootings

Another wave of violence and murder swept through Chicago this weekend, with at least five dead by Sunday afternoon.
At least five murders and ten shooting-related injuries had been reported as of 2:08 pm ET.
Several teens as young as 15 years old were injured. One 19-year-old and one 16-year-old were transported to the hospital in critical condition.
Per CBS News:
At least five people have been killed and 10 others have been wounded in weekend shootings across Chicago.
The ages of the victims range from 15 to 44.
In the first shooting of the weekend, a 32-year-old employee of a business in the South Loop got into an argument with a 31-year-old man in the 1300 block of South Michigan Avenue around 9:30 p.m. on Friday.
This included at least two shooting incidents on Friday, starting at 9:30 pm local time, seven on Saturday, starting at approximately 1 am, and five on Sunday, starting shortly after midnight.
In nearly all cases, nobody was taken into custody.
This comes after 58 people were shot in Chicago last weekend, leaving eight dead.
The weekend before, at least six people were killed and 27 were injured, with victims as young as five years old, in shootings.
The Trump Administration has been planning federal law enforcement operations and potential National Guard deployment in the Windy City, citing the violent crime crisis.
It was recently revealed that 200 or more Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials would be deployed in the sanctuary city of Chicago to carry out deportations. The National Guard may also be deployed as a deterrent to rioters and criminals.
President Trump pointed to the data from the last two weekends and shredded a reporter at the White House earlier, when asked why he was targeting Chicago with law enforcement actions.

"Excuse me, do you know how many people were killed in Chicago last weekend? Eight. You know how many people were killed in Chicago the week before? Seven," he said. "You know how many people were wounded? 74 people were wounded. You think there’s worse than that? I don’t think so."

Loyola University Campus Newspaper Apologizes for Calling Murder Suspect an ‘Illegal Immigrant’ Instead of “Rogers Park Resident”

Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman
Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich joined Laura Ingraham on Fox News to discuss the tragic and preventable murder of 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman.
Early in the morning on Thursday of last week, 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman was shot and killed near the Chicago campus by one of Joe Biden’s illegals.
The masked gunman approached a group of students walking in the Rogers Park neighborhood and opened fire, shooting Gorman in the head. She died at the scene.
On Sunday, it was confirmed that the masked gunman who killed Gorman is a 25-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela who entered the US under the Biden Regime. Police took Jose Medina-Medina into custody.
In its coverage of the tragedy, Loyola’s campus newspaper, The Phoenix, has caved to the woke mob by changing wording in the coverage of the murder of one of its own to placate the left’s agenda.
While originally referring to Medina as an illegal immigrant, they edited the post to frame him as a “Rogers Park Resident.”
The College Fix reports:
Campus newspaper The Phoenix originally reported on the charges with an Instagram post titled: “Immigrant Man Charged in Murder of Sheridan Gorman, DHS Involved.”
The original post also referred to Medina as an “illegal immigrant.”
However, facing backlash, the student newspaper edited the post to remove the term “illegal immigrant.” The newspaper refers to Medina as a “Rogers Park Resident,” referring to the Chicago neighborhood where Loyola’s main campus is located.
An editor’s note was added to the original story, which spent almost as much time bemoaning the “harm” of calling the alleged murderer what he is than spent on the tragic death of a young woman just beginning her life.
Editor’s Note:
On March 23, a post on The Phoenix’s Instagram page carried the following headline: “Immigrant Man Charged in Murder of Sheridan Gorman, DHS Involved.”
That headline didn’t reflect the most important elements in the story, and it was taken down minutes later to prevent any further harm to affected community members.
Additionally, in the body of the original post, we described the man who was charged as an “illegal immigrant,” using language provided by the Department of Homeland Security. That language does not align with Associated Press style, nor does it align with the values of this newspaper.
No human’s existence is illegal, and we quickly changed our wording to reflect that.
We acknowledge the harm such language can cause and the power and importance of the words we choose to use. We deeply regret these errors, and we’re committed to continuing the high standards we hold for ourselves as journalists and members of the Loyola, Rogers Park and Chicago communities.

President Trump GOES OFF on “Rigged” Virginia Election

President Trump on Wednesday called out the rigged Virginia election.
On Tuesday evening, Virginia voters passed the redistricting referendum that will benefit Democrats and disenfranchise millions of Virginia independents and Republicans.
“The ballot measure gives the Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature — rather than the state’s current nonpartisan commission — temporary redistricting power through the 2030 election. It could result in a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in Virginia’s congressional delegation, up from their current 6-5 edge,” Fox New reported.
Virginia’s radical Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger lied on the campaign trail and said that she would not support gerrymandering and the congressional redistricting referendum.
The party that calls Trump a “dictator” and republicans “fascists”, now controls 90% of the districts in a state they won by 5%.
The irony…

Trump said Tuesday night’s Virginia election was rigged.
The President also said the language on he referendum was “purposely unintelligible and deceptive.”
President Trump’s full statement:
A RIGGED ELECTION TOOK PLACE LAST NIGHT IN THE GREAT COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA!
All day long Republicans were winning, the Spirit was unbelievable, until the very end when, of course, there was a massive “Mail In Ballot Drop!”
Where have I heard that before — And the Democrats eked out another Crooked Victory! Six to five goes to ten to one, and yet the Presidential Election in November was very close to a 50-50 split.
In addition to everything else, the language on the Referendum was purposefully unintelligible and deceptive.
As everyone knows, I am an extraordinarily brilliant person, and even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about in the Referendum, and neither do they!
Let’s see if the Courts will fix this travesty of “Justice.” President DONALD J. TRUMP

Convicted Murderer Arrested for Sending Deranged Death Threats to Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons: ‘Two F-cking Bullets to the Back of Their Nazi Maggot Heads’

via The Department of Homeland Security
A convicted murderer has been arrested after sending unhinged, violent threats to outgoing Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, including explicit calls for ICE agents to be “executed right there… with two f-cking bullets to the back of their maggot Nazi heads.”
Daniel Barber, who has a lengthy criminal record that includes a 1990 conviction for murder and robbery with intent to cause bodily harm, was arrested on April 10 by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents in San Francisco.
The threats were sent via email on June 6, 2025.

In the vile message, Barber stated:
“YOUR GESTAPO NAZI MAGGOT ICE AGENTS SHOULD BE TERRIFIED, BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM DESERVES TO BE ARRESTED BY ARMED AMERICAN CITIZENS, FROGMARCHED INTO THE STREETS, SUMMARILY TRIED AND CONVICTED OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY THERE IN PUBLIC, AND SUBSEQUENTLY EXECUTED RIGHT THERE AS WELL WITH TWO F–CKING BULLETS TO THE BACK OF THEIR MAGGOT NAZI HEADS!”
He continued, “EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!”
“MAYBE STOP F-CKING ACTING LIKE HEINOUSLY F-CKING EVIL FASCIST KKKUNTS, AND THEY WOULDN’T DESERVE SUCH A FATE!”
The email concluded, “AND THAT IS NOT A THREAT, YOU LITTLE F-CKING B-TCH, BUT SIMPLY MY OPINION AS TO WHAT THOSE WORMS DESERVE. I’LL BE F-CKING PRAYING DAILY TO THE UNIVERSE AMERICANS START RISING UP AND GIVING THEM, AND YOU, EXACTLY THAT.”
Barber signed the email with his full name.
The Department of Homeland Security released full details about the arrest in a press release on Monday.
“This convicted murderer sent this disgusting death threat to ICE Director Todd Lyons,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement.
Bis continued, “Comparing ICE day-in and day-out to the Nazi Gestapo, the Secret Police, and slave patrols has consequences. The men and women of ICE are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters. They get up every morning to try and make our communities safer. Like everyone else, they just want to go home to their families at night. The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law must stop.”
The press release noted, “The arrest comes as sanctuary politicians have created an environment that encourages rampant assaults on law enforcement. As our ICE law enforcement officers remove murderers, rapists, pedophiles, gang members, and terrorists from American communities, they are facing a more than 1,300% increase in assaults, an 8,000% increase in death threats, and a more than 3,300% increase in vehicle attacks.”

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Lyons and his family endured vicious harassment from the left, including doxxing of his wife and children and protests at their home.
Lyons is stepping down from the agency at the end of May.
